MIRRORS
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function (available as an option on the outside driver’s side
mirror). The electronic day/night mirror will change from the normal
state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror.
When the mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will
automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a
bright clear view when backing up.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance.
Without Navigation System
Press the control to turn the mirror
OFF or AUTO.
With Navigation System
The illuminated LED to the right of
the AUTO button indicates if the
mirror is in the auto-dimming
function. To turn the mirror off push
